Americans were quite sympathetic towards the Nazis before the war. A lot of the pseudo-science race teachings and call for eugenics, which is genocide, were supported in the US. The Nazis got inspired by the flag saluting fascist ritual “pledge of allegiance” that still exists today, but long before. Henry Ford and other “models of the American Dream” could spread their Antisemitic hatred globally, while being recognized, revered or at least tolerated by their US American co-citizens.
The US was on its best way to become a fascist empire in the 20th century already, without any influence from the German Nazis. The German Nazis may have helped slightly, but the responsibility lies with the US Americans. After all the US was founded on a settler colonial white supremacist ethnic cleansing and genocide itself.
I agree with your conclusion. The US will not stop until it is stopped, like any other fascist country will not stop until it is stopped.

There are examples, yes, but that’s a hell of an oversimplification. Such that it could be called bullshit. Which I do.
It’s… really not? You might want to go brush up on your history.
